Extension of luminance component based demosaicking algorithm to 4- and 5-band multispectral images
Abstract Multispectral imaging systems are currently expanding with a variety of multispectral demosaicking algorithms. But these algorithms have limitations due to the remarkable presence of artifacts in the reconstructed image. In this paper, we propose a powerful multispectral image demosaicking method that focuses on the G band and luminance component. We've first identified a relevant 4-and 5-band multispectral filter array (MSFA) with the dominant G band and then proposed an algorithm that consistently estimates the missing G values and other missing components using a convolution operator and a weighted bilinear interpolation algorithm based on the luminance component. Using the cons…
Optimal extension of multispectral image demosaicking algorithms for setting up a one-shot camera video acquisition system
Multispectral images are acquired using multispectral cameras equipped with CCD or CMOS sensors which sample the visible or near infrared spectrum according to specific spectral bands. A mosaic of multispectral MSFA filters is superimposed on the surface of the sensors to acquire a raw image called an MSFA image. In the MSFA image, only one spectral band is available per pixel, the demosaicking process is necessary to estimate the multispectral image at full spatio-spectral resolution. Motivated by the success of single-sensor cameras capturing the image in a single exposure that use CFA filters, we performed a comparative study of a few recent color image demosaicking algorithms and experi…
